(Sylvester / Clarke)
Heading out on my way to nowhere 
just a traveling man 
Hitching rides along the highway 
from whoever I can 

Gotta stop someplace somewhere 
and put some leather on my shoes 
They're the only pair that get me there 
any horizon that I choose 

I know when the cold wind blows 
my coat will keep me warm 
I've got no woman's love 
to call my own 

I saw you lying there 
a cast-off from another man 
So I picked you up took you home 
and home is on my back 

Lonely hobo lullaby is my song 
Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along 
My shoes my coat my jeans 
and anything else I own 
We're a family without a tree 
no roots to hold us down
